"The "zero-day" vulnerability, which came to light last week, allows
criminals to take over victims' machines simply by steering them to
infected Web sites; users don't have to download anything for their
computers to get infected, which makes the flaw in Internet Explorer's
programming code so dangerous."

You can wait for the MS fix or make the jump and get Firefox:

Firefox is working well here. I run it on a Mac and currently prefer it
to IE and Safari.

I am using Thunderbird here... also from Mozilla. It is a newer version
of Netscape mail, I quite like it because all my accounts including news
are in one window.

+1 for Thunderbird. Works great for email and newsgroups. I'm replying
from it right now!

Another plus for Thunderbird and Firefox is that they work well on Mac,
MSWindows and Linux. So if you ever change OS platforms you can keep the
same email and browser setup. Same goes for Open Office.

Cheers,
